Minnesota-born music icon Bob Dylan’s 2016 Nobel Prize lecture was made available online today. In the speech, Dylan says he wanted to explore how his songs related to literature, and he wanted to “reflect on it and see where the connection was.” In his lecture Dylan recalls being inspired as a teenager by Buddy Holly. And he cites the influence of three books he read as a child in grammar school–“Moby Dick”, “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “The Odyssey”. You can hear Dylan’s speech here.
